[QUOTE="CoachR64, post: 2102519, member: 2150"] The article I read had the author of the bill basically saying they want a resource officer in every school, but this may help a community or district that cannot afford resource officers. So basically, even the author of the bill doesn't truly want teachers carrying. Yesterday, I walked by the office and saw 4 officers. They all responded as back up as our officer was out for the day for training. Had an activ shooter scenario played out, we would have had no officer until the back up arrived. Also, with them backing us up, the school site each of them served had no officer while they were helping us. Many times teachers that are involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, cheer, band, drama, etc. are there in the hours the officer is not present. I know I am there late nights and weekends as a coach. There was an incident a week ago where I went looking for the officer 30-45 minutes after school was out and he was gone. There were still many kids at the school for sports and ACT prep class. These folks, including the NRA, who feel the answer is putting in an armed officer are really just trying to make people feel safer. If you want to keep the kids safe, allow the teachers the choice to carry without ridiculous hurdles to jump over just to get there. [/QUOTE]
